"Would others speak to where their libertarian fervor came from?"


Self employment experiences
A license for everything  (permission to breathe)
Right to travel "issues"
FDA polices
The drug war
The push for safer working conditions for thugs
The Religious right (wrong)
All those plastic hairdo sociopaths in power

Actually reading the Constitution and BOR

Lysander Spooner
Thomas Paine
T.J.
